Tragicomedy

When I heard Lana sing 
hope is a dangerous thing
for a woman like me to have

it made me think of you

of how I have been giving

all these pieces of me

exclusively for your taking

it made someone say
my shoulders are wide this way
because of the massive weight
conveyed by your burden's freight

Now, I know that you are hurting 

that you had a broken dream or two

but projecting your pain and suffering 
broke the child I never could be too

It’s really tough to break a habit

and I honestly must admit
if it wasn't for my strength
if it wasn't for my kids

I would've shared your narrative 

My story will not end like yours

I have seen many other people
scarred so much deeper
bleeding so much worse

You did not have it easy
but you don't own hurt's monopoly
we áll get very much fucked over
in life's heartbreaking tragic comedy
